Paul Hackett is an Iraq veteran, a plain-talking liberal, and the Democratic candidate for Ohio's second congressional district in a special election to take place on Tuesday. And he's allegedly within five points of his opponent. That's a long way to go in five days, but for comparison, recent elections in that district run about 74/26 Republican. And Hackett's numbers seem to be heading up.

If you've got some spare time, you might enjoy reading about him on his site or any number of excitable blogs. If you've got some spare cash, you might like to contribute to his campaign. And if you're in the area, the campaign could use some volunteers.
